Intensity:
- light
- turbulence: momentary, slight changes in altitude/attitude
- chop: slight, rapid, rhythmic bumpiness without appreciable changes in altitude/attitude
- moderate
- turbulence: greater than light, aircraft remains in positive control, variations in IAS
- chop: greater than light, rapid bumps/jolts without appreciable changes in aircraft altitude/attitude
- severe
- large, abrupt changes in altitude/attitude
- large variations in IAS
- momentary loss of control
Frequency:
- occasional (<1/3 of the time)
- intermittent
- continuous (>2/3 of the time)
Report:
- location
- time
- intensity
- in or near cloud
- altitude
- type of aircraft
- duration (if applicable)
High level turbulence not associated with cumuliform clouds should be reported as CAT.
